Before Christmas, I was sent some beautiful Australian olive oil products to try. Rich Glen's Zesty Lemon & Lime Olive Oil, Fiery Chilli Olive Oil, & Poppy's Salad Dressing. Oh, that's nice I thought & got on with the silly season.
I drizzled the chilli oil over a salad made of left over prawns, cold couscous & rocket from the garden. Hmmmm, yum I thought.
I drizzled the lemon lime oil over a chicken roasted with lemons & garlic & thought Hmmmm, pretty good.
And then, I opened the Salad Dressing, & angels sang.
Oh My Heavens MOTHER OF GOD this stuff is GOLD!!!!
It is made from completely natural ingredients, & is utterly fabulous on EVERYTHING. It has been 'tested' (read hoovered up) by every member of this family on green salad, pasta salad, ham sandwiches, egg sandwiches, poached eggs, cold chicken, thick slices of pana de casa, steamed potatoes, BBQ lamb chops, cold prawns & poured into half an avocado & eaten with a spoon. Mr BC has almost been drinking it with a straw. I cannot rate this highly enough, & I am one of those people who doesn't normally like salad dressing at all. At the Regatta Brunch, Kym & I started raving about it like born again dressing lovers to the point where people where giving us odd looks. Now of course I have run out, & you can only buy it online direct from Rich Glen, or here.
Or, you could win some of your own!
I would love it if you liked the Rich Glen facebook page, & I would really love it if you liked the Mrs BC facebook page, but what I really want you to do is give me your best salad recipe. Just type it in the comments & we are good. Sorry, but Australian residents only. Winner to be chosen on the 18th January. Rich Glen will ship you;
1 x bottle of Rich Glen Zesty Lemon & Lime Olive Oil, &
1 x bottle of Rich Glen's Poppy's Salad Dressing so you can hear the angels sing yourself.
Some interesting facts that make Rich Glen Olive Oil products taste even better;
